filled a void obviously needing to be filled: there is now a font made
entirely of cats. Called Neko Font (Japanese for "cat font") it's
a web app that transforms text into a font comprised of cat pictures.
All you need to do is write something in the text box, press "enter" on
your keyboard and Neko Font instantly transforms the letters into
kitties! Thanks go to intrepid club member Sandy Kahn for alerting the Ebert Club to this important advancement in typography. To learn more, read the article "There is now a font made entirely of cats"and to test it out yourself, go here: Neko Font. Meanwhile, behold what mankind can achieve when it has nothing better to do....

He's from the Grouse Mountain Wildlife Refuge in North Vancouver; not a zoo. The veterinary clinic is also located in North Vancouver and Alpha is having his regular dental check up and cleaning.
